Bio:

Grammy® award winning Roc Nation singer/songwriter Victory releases her sophomore album Glory Hour this spring – the follow up to her first two folk/jazz/soul recordings It’s a New Dawn (2017) and her critically acclaimed debut album The Broken Instrument (2018). Victory’s highly anticipated new album Glory Hour is an inspirational 18-track collection that marks her first official foray into gospel music.

Growing up in a family deeply committed to music and live performances, Victory is one of nine siblings who sang in the Boys & Girls Choir of Detroit, an organization founded by her father John Boyd. Taking music seriously as a career from the start, she began singing with the choir at age four, and later studied jazz guitar. When she was 12, the family moved to North Bergen, New Jersey, and they started busking together using various names – including Peace Industry Music Group – at NYC tourist attractions and on subway platforms. The Boyds became particularly renowned for their appearances in the Minton Tile Arcade next to Bethesda Fountain, a spot favored for its great acoustics.

Victory and four of her siblings -- older brother Abraham and younger siblings Angel, Israel, and Momo, later formed the offshoot group Infinity’s Song, which rose to national prominence in 2015 after pop singer Tori Kelly happened upon them performing UNITED’s “Oceans” one day in Central Park and joined in. A video of the impromptu performance went viral (1.2M views on YouTube). In 2015, Peace Industry Music Group released Infinity’s Song’s self-titled debut album. The Boyds later played for Jay-Z, who signed them to Roc Nation, ultimately leading to Victory’s signing with the label as a solo artist and releasing “It’s A New Dawn.” The EP featured her beautiful renditions of songs by two of her greatest influences, Nina Simone (“Feeling Good”) and Stevie Wonder (“Overjoyed”). In 2020, Infinity’s Song released their label debut “Mad Love.” In 2019, Victory won her first Grammy® for her work on Kanye West’s album “Jesus is King” and performed the National Anthem at an NFL playoffs game in 2018.
